T0 (all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES S. BATDORF,

a citizen of the United States, residing in` Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State l of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rotary Motors, of which the following is a specification.

The invention has reference to an organi- 1 zation of movable elements which are capable of furnishing power, and embodies an arrangement whereby any ofthe elements may be elected to control the medium by which others are operated, and each element may be so mounted that power can be derived from either.

It is a design of the invention to so relate the elements that at no point during the operation of either will they rest upon a deadcenter, for while each element is susceptible to a dead-center of its own the organization will be such that a dead-center common to the mechanism as a whole will be effectively overcome. Y

It is also a design of the invention to so relate the elements that the expending or failing force of one element will be combined with the initial force of another, whereby the integrity ofthe energy of the mechanism will be maintained. In conjunction with this feature of the invention, it may be said that the construction and relation ofthe elements will be such that neither will be called upon to take up the load or the load of the throw of another during their travel and comprehends such a correlation of parts that the force directed against each element and the relative location of said elements with respect to the force thereto imparted will always be such that the force of throw of the elements will be balanced or equalized through their respective paths of movement.

It is one of the most important designs of this invention to so construct and arrange one of the elements, that it will operate as a valve, in true balance, having an angular movement substantially without friction relatively to the medium during its operation, whereby notwithstanding its intended location under the constant pressure of a medium it will not be affected bysuchpressure to the extent of operating thereagainst with resistive force. In other words, it is intended to employ one of the elements as a balanced valve and that such a structure shall operate in and under the constant pressure of a medium and yet not be subjected to the resistance therefrom.

It is a further and important design ofthe invention to effect a complete cut-off and eX- haust of the medium to each actuator during a period in the travel thereof when the same is approaching and has arrived at its deadcenter and to maintain such a condition until said actuator has passed beyond its deadcenter point.

It is a further and an important design of the invention to construct a casing for the elements and which embodies a chamber Which is divided into a series of contiguouslyarranged compartments by a wall or walls through openings in which and which serve as ports the pressure may pass from one compartment, serving as a pressure-compartment, to the other compartments containing the transmitting elements, whereby the force of a medium may be directly transferred or switched from one compartment to another without material loss of the efficiency of the force of said medium, which loss would be due to frictional resistance during the travel of the mediumin instances where such medium is conducted through avenues of considerable length-such, for instance, as pipes. By such construction it will be noted that the only resist-ance or friction to which the medium in this case will be subjected will be that due to the passage through the ports aforementioned and which, as is obvious, will be innitesimal, and it will be readily observed, therefore, that the maximum force of the medium will be maintained.

The principles herein related may be embodied into any suitable form of mechanism, and it matters not whether each or any of the elements shall be dependent upon a particular motion or direction of travel in order to perfect an Operable mechanism, and there# fore for the purpose of explanation and rendering the invention more intelligible such invention may be embodied to comprehend a motor mechanism in which some of the elements will be operative relatively to others for regulating and controlling the ow of the medium to others, whereby the others will operate to govern the fiow regulation, as well as to impart the power to the working elements.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated on the accompanying sheets of drawings, whereon- IOO rio

vFigure 1 illustrates an elevational section of a motor incorporating the principles of this invention. Fig. 2 illustrates a sectional view of the same on line X X of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 illustrates a view similar to Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 shows another relative position of the parts, also illustrating diagrammatically some of the various lines of force from a point of power with respect to axis of movement of a member and the movement of another member; and Fig. 5 illustrates a form of mechanism defining an adjustment which may be employed in connection with one of the elements, whereby to compensate for the Wear between the elements.

In the several illustrations similar charac- Vters of reference apply to similar parts.

Assuming the invention to be embodied in the form illustrated, the elements referred to may be operatively mounted in a suitable casing 6, embodying a chamber supported upon a base 7 and which may be divided into three contiguously-arranged intermittently chambers or compartments 8, 9, and 10, respectively, the chambers or compartments 8 and 9 being separated by a wall 11, while branches 12 and 13 thereof may so partially divide said chambers or compartments 3 and 9, respectively, from chamber or compartment 10 that openings or ports 14 and 15, respectively, may be created to give immediate communication between the chamber or compartment 10 and the chambers or compartments 8 and 9.

The Walls 16 and 17, respectively, of the chambers 8 and 9 may be substantially circumferential and may serve as paths about which the actuators 18 and 19, respectively, may operate, such actuators in the present instance being mounted for movement upon axes concentric with said walls 16 and 17. The means for mounting the actuators may of course be of the most eilectual and consistent character for the purpose of best gaining the results sought to be obtained-as, for instance, by providing and mounting shafts 20 and 21v in suitable bearings 22 and 23, the actuators 18 and 19 to be mounted in such a caseon said shafts, and, if desired, said actuators may be keyed to said shaft by keys 220 and 230, although, as is obvious, this is a matter of choice in practice.

To those portions 24 and 25 of the shafts 20 and 21 which extend from the bearings 26 and 27, may be connected elements of a suitable train of mechanism by which the elements of the mechanism may be operated and by which the actuators may receive a simultaneous and alternate motion through similar but independent paths. One of such trains embodies gears 28 and 29, respecw tively, suitably connected to the shafts-as,

for instance, by keys 280 and 290-whieh' are intermeshed for a relatively reverse movement, whereby a uniform travel of the actuators may be had, and if the actuators. 18 and 19 should be rotatably mounted-for instance, as is shown in the drawings-and geared together by the gears 23 and 29 then said actuators will travel through substantially similar paths, but in opposite directions, as indicated, for instance, by the arrows 30 and 31, the movement of said actuators, however, being in unison. Each actuator will during its travel through its path give similar results; but the results of one actuator will alternate with the results of the other actuator, and in this way a desired movement is given to a third member, (designated in a general way by 32,) which is constantly in intimate contact with the actuators and which may be termed a balance-valve for regulating the flow of the medium whereby to govern the operation of the actuators.

One of the notable characteristics to be mentioned in connection with an arrangement of this character for the actuators is that during the travel of each there will be such an equalization of weight that they will be free from resistance other than that normal resistance due to frictional contact of the elements and the elements and their paths, this being a desideratum in mechanisms.

The member 32 may of course within the purview oi this invention be of any suitable construction, and according to the manner of operation of the actuators said member 32 may be also likewise mounted for operation and which in the present instance may have an angular movement.

As applicable to the present arrangement, as shown, therefore, said member 32 may embody a body portion and an extended member 33, which may be supported in connection with a suitable bearing 34-such, for instance, as by mounting the same upon a pivot 35-although such a construction is not essential, as the same may be suitably fulcrumed. The extremities 36 and 37, respectively, of the member 32, together with a considerable length of the body of the same, will move during a certain period in the openings in the dividing-walls and which form the ports 14 and 15, the opening and closing of the ports in the present instance and as will be understood from the illustrations being preferably intermittently effected and may be accomplished by having the extremities 36 and 37 contacting with abutments 360 and 370 on the casing. It will be seen that the member 32 will operate in the chamber-compartment 10, which will be a chest from which the source of power may be derived, and therefore will be the instrumentality by which the power will be intermittently admitted to and cut oil` from the chambers or compartments 3 and During the operation of this member 32 in the chamber or compartment 10 attentionis IOO drawn to the fact that notwithstanding that the member is constantly under the pressure of the medium, as seen by arrow 320, there will be no resistance or friction between said member and the medium, which is desideratum, the only friction to which this member can be subjected being that of frictional contact between it and the actuators and at its bearing. Each of said chambers 8 and 9 will be provided with exhaust-ports 38 and 39, respectively, which issue into an exhaust 40, and for the salie of simplicityT a feed-pipe may be screw-threaded into the head 42.

As has been before remarked, the elements adapted to serve as actuators will have alternate movements through similar paths, and therefore in the construction shown such actuators may so be mounted on independent dissident shafts that the major portion of each will be disposed on diametrically opposite sides of each shaft and in opposite directions-for instance, as seen in Fig. 1 whereby the element 32 will receive a motion to intermittently open and close saidfports 14 and 15.

Entering into that hase of the invention which comprehends the equalization of the weight or force of the elements during their operation, attention is drawn to Fig. 4 of the drawings, where is illustrated diagramatically the amount of leverage present with respect to one of the elements during a certain position of travel of said element plus the amount of force being received by another element, it being understood that the leverage is here calculated upon the basis of the element plus the expanding or failing power. Assuming, therefore, that the actuators are in the position shown in Fig. 4 and the line of force is such as is indicated by 42, the actuator 18 will commence to offer a leverage equal to that from points 43 and 44, and at this point the power which has been driven into chamber or compartment 9 shall have commenced to be fully expanded. For counterbalancing this condition the member 32 will have sufl'iciently opened the port 15 at this juncture so that the full initial force from the chamber or compartment 10 will be directed against the actuator 19, and thereby substantially counterbalance the failing power in the chamber or compartment 9 plus the leverage of the actuator 18. l/Vhen Ithe actuator 18 shall have traveled around to point giving a line of force at 44 through the actuator 18 the actuator 19 occupies a correspondingly diametrically opposite position the tendency of the elements would be to rest on a dead-center 5 but at this point the port 14 being entirely closed and the exhaust-port 38 sufficiently open to exhaust the chamber or compartment 9, the power within the chamber or compartment 8 will undergo its most energetic expansion, thus compensating for the l loss of force with respect to the other member,

and this condition is substantially maintained throughout correspondingly relative positions of travel of the elements, whereby the integrity of the invariable energy of the mechanism is maintained.

It will now be noted that the actuators may be so mounted relatively to each other that they will move in diametrically opposite paths, whereby the throw of each will be equalized, and therefore it `will not be encumbered upon one to take up the burden of weight of the other.

To maintain a contact between the various elements and for compensating for such wear as may take place therebetween, it may be desirable to adjust one of the elements relatively to the others, and while this may be accomplished in any suitable manner, such adjustment in the present instance, seems more practical in connection with the member 32. Such adjustment, therefore, may be accomplished by partially separating the branches 36 and 39 of said member 32 by an elongated slit 45, which may be extended from the outer surface of the member 32 to an ap roximate point relative to bearing 34, anc? each wall 46 and 47, respectively, may then be notched out or depressed so as to form recesses, which in combination may produce a tapered wedge-like opening 48, into which may be placed a member 49, the contour of such member 49 being made to correspond with the contour of the recess 48. Such member 49 may be operated relatively to the member 32 in any suitable manner*such, for instance, as by providing the same with a threaded bore 50, into which may be placed a threaded tap 51, having, for instance, a squared head 52, and which, when actuated by a suitable implement, will force the member 49 either up or down, whereby to either separate the branches 43 and 44 of the member 32 or allow them to draw together, and in order to permanently maintain the inember 32 in its adjusted position I may provide the members 36 and 37, respectively, with lugs 53 and 54, having elongated openings 55 and 56, through which to pass a bolt 57, having a nut 58 adjustable thereon, so that when the member 49 has effected a suitable separation of the members 43 and 44 or they have been suitably contracted, as the case may be, such members can be held in permanent position at will by said member 49 and said member 57. j

It will be noted that this invention embodies the use of plurality of members, each interdependent upon the other for its movement and each of which may be located and movable about' its own axis and that some of the elements may be interdependent upon the others for the regulation of the power of the medium by which the others are operated, it being here remarked that it matters not what character of medium be employed, as

IOO

IZO

this is a matter of choice, and that the various elements will be maintained .in Contact with each other.

It will be seen from the foregoing, that the invention cornprehends an organization of movable elements operable through independent paths, but each of which elements is interdependent upon the other for its movement, and which are capable of producing power, and that such power derived from the mechanism is increased by the fact that the elements can be so arranged that there will be a minimum of friction. Indeed, the only friction present seems to be that due to the contact between the parts, and it will be also observed in this connection that the member which operates in and in the present instance operates as a balance-valve and which is constantly maintained under a given pressure of medium is so construct-ed that no resistance is present between the member and the medium. during its movement therein.

It has been pointed out, and is an important feature of this invention, that the condi- J tions are always such that each element when approaching and arriving at its individual dead-center will be assisted through that period and farther on until it has passed such a point where it would be possible of itself to become inoperative upon its deadcenter, and, as has been stated, these members when at this oint are not subject to pressure by the me lum.

Should the invention be embodied in a form, such as is illustrated and described, it will be noted that the pivotal point of the bearing of the oscillating member will at all times assume the entire pressure of the medium, and the construction of this member will always be such that during the various shiftmcnts thereof, the medium may be displaced without offering any resistance to the member.

It is also to be particularly noted that the parts are so arranged, and the oscillating member so actuated that the pressure from the medium will, at all times, be separated from that portion of the operative members which during their travel, offers the greatest resistance due at leverage, and in this connection it is to be noted. that it no time during the operation of the members, will either of them he subject to back pressure. lt is believed that this is the first time that this has been accomplished in motor-work..

It will be further noted that the compartment containing the medium is in such intimate communication with and preferably directed above the other compartments that the force of the medium from the pressurecompartment is instantaneously transferred and imparted into the compartment containing the working members at the instance of movement lof the balanced member, and therefore, as is obvious, that friction which is due to the travel of the medium and. which detracts from the force thereof is overcome, thereby increasing the efliciency of that force.

It is one of the notable features of this invention that the elements of the mechanism are not only few, but that they each accompli sh a plurality of functions. For example, these elements, which in the present instance are termed the actuators and which may be rotatably mounted in two of the compartments of the chamber, will be effective during their rotation for not only operating another member, but also for automatically, and intermittently cutting od communication to the exhaust-ports, thus avoiding the necessity of additional means for the performance of such a function.
